Sauce for dins then??

I just made roasted vegetables with pan-fried Mezula (white fish) with a lemon and butter sauce. YUM!

Trick to the sauce is to melt the butter for a good 6 - 8 minutes, it goes brown and nutty. A technique the French call a Beurre noisette. Fab. So easy too.


sounds delish.

luckily tesco had a bag of arborio in stock. having grilled salmon with a pea and lemon risotto.

True, but it's great to have a commentator that's still playing, it means he actually knows how everyone else is playing not to mention all the behind the scenes action.
